How to Style a High On Life Enamel Pin on a Backpack

Quick answer

Attach your High On Life enamel pin to a backpack by choosing a flat, stable fabric area, securing it with rubber post backing, and adding a locking pin back for extra security.

How to style your pin on a backpack

1. Choose a flat, stable spot: Pick a smooth fabric area away from zippers, seams, and curved surfaces. The front pocket or center of a flap works best. Avoid webbing straps or mesh panels—the rubber post backing won't hold as well.
2. Push the pin through from the back: Insert the pin post from inside the backpack or pocket so the design faces outward. This keeps the post hidden and the pin flush against the fabric. If the fabric is thick, gently pre-poke a small hole with a needle to avoid bending the post.
3. Secure with the rubber post backing: Press the rubber post backing firmly onto the post until it clicks or feels snug. Twist slightly to lock it in place. Rubber backings can dry out over time—replace them every few months if they feel loose.
4. Add a locking pin back for high-traffic use: Swap the rubber backing for a metal locking pin back with a screw or spring mechanism. This prevents the pin from falling off during commutes or hikes. Locking backs are sold separately and work with standard pin posts.
5. Check the pin regularly: Every few weeks, inspect the backing and the pin's position. Tighten or reposition if the pin has shifted or the backing feels loose. A quick check before a trip saves you from losing a favorite pin.
